GCC does not support MFC, sorry.
two issues:
1. MFC is a C++ library, and hence needs to compiled with GCC to be usable
with GCC code. I don't know if anyone has modified MFC to be compilable
with GCC yet (it uses quite a few MS-specific extensions).
2. If you succeed with step 1, there are issues with copyright, so you may
or may not be able to redistribute the resulting DLL.
